John ditched the drums and picked up guitar, beginning to sing and write his own songs. At Hall High School, he played In talent shows and sometimes on the streets of Hartford, his first tastes of live performing. While attending the University of Rhode Island, John played in a band called Cat on a Tin Roof, gigging at various clubs in Kingston and Narragansett.

John recorded two songs, Home and Lady of the Night. John gave up his chemist job to get into radio, interning at Moku's KQMQ 93.1 FM. He soon realized an interest in what goes on behind the scenes.

Helm moved to the Big Apple in the summer of 2004 and continued working in coffee shops. He did gigs with Bud Cerio at New York City's famed ''Bitterend'' as well as some small venues in Norwalk CT. In the winter of 2004/2005 Helm moved to Greenwich CT where he recorded tracks for his upcoming album ''Divide'' at the old Sweeney Mansion. Pick up ''A Patchwork Clan'' if you want to read about the musical Sweeney household with 18 children! There are 10 tracks for the upcoming release. It is a collection of recordings from 1996-2006.

Ryan was scouted by a select choir and was flown to the Virginia to tour and perform at several large churches. As Ryan developed into music he found himself being mentored by a former tikis musician Kaleo Agsalda known as Kaleo Vai. Through this time Ryan was brought up to become the musical director at a local church called New Hope Town.

Ryan is known for his big voice and "Mr. Aloha" personality. Keala started learning guitar at 11 to impress girls, but after chasing tail he realized he actually liked to learn music. The first song Keala played the whole way through was "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" by Green Day and that's when Keala got hooked. Later Keala got the chance to learn from Ian O'Sullivan, a very successful guitar player who recently released his album "Songs for the North Shore." Keala also was mentored under Imua Garza who was apart of one of Hawaii's number one bands, Opihi Pickers. His first experiences with live performances were at the main services at New Hope Oahu. From 2013-2014 Keala was apart of a band called Salty. Salty was gaining popularity through the island quickly, but disbanded due to life changes. But this experience was one he will never forget.
